Well, -good-, and thanks! :) (though "if one's lucky" - kayn ayin hara - always applies, of course!)

And what about the recording of the 4th String Quartet?

Hopefully nos. 2 and 4 will be on the last volume. Just because no.2 was recorded on another CD (and one not, I think, very easy to acquire where I am, iirc) ages ago doesn't mean they shouldn't record it now. (From their webpage there are two volumes, this would be volume 3 (and strictly speaking contains no quartets, but I see how it fits in the series after all), and the remaining 2 quartets would I hope be on volume 4... though if they wanted to they could make two volumes more out of it. Rather hope they'll put quartets 2 and 4 on volume 4 and if they decide to record more works, put e.g. the Divertimento op.53 (e.g.) and other works on volume 5, rather than splitting the quartets...)

Matesic has uploaded a version of the Op.9 quintet to IMSLP, while the string trio is a recently-published work like the 2nd string quintet.

No, the fourth was recorded in 2023 with the first string quintet, this lastest volume will be the 2nd and the string trio, I didn't make that clear...

Thank you. Splendid news then. OTOH, CPO is really delayed to release pending stuff that should have been available much before I reckon.

Ah, ok, my mistake. That is good news.
